Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: Price dropped to $12,000.
(07/23/2022) Seller notes this is titled as a 1949, but it has a replacement data plate stamped CJV35 10656. I can’t locate anything that looks CJV35-ish.
https://boise.craigslist.org/cto/d/star-willys-jeep/7616943404.html
“Titled as a 1949 Willys could be a 1950 with title #CJ/35-10656. Buick V6, 5 extra tires and rims, roll bar and lots of extra parts. Will not answer texts or email.”
This one has an unusual windshield and rollbar setup.
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/d/guerneville-1948-willys/7614983423.html
“Restored with 1970’s running gear and V6. 4000 miles on rebuild and new odometer.”
No price or description. It appears to have a replacement body.

“1951 Willy’s jeep wanting to sell Will need to be towed the engine is damn near complete only missing a few external pieces like belt starter and alternator will need new spark plugs and wires ran last I knew engine is not installed”
Though the pic shows this assembled, apparently it is disassembled.

It runs, but needs work.

“Runs great! Great off road vehicle! Title in hand this is an off road vehicle not street legal needs lights. Easy fix just don’t have time for it.”
This will need a bit of work before it races again.

“NO TITLE PROJECT!! I got was I was told is a 1952 CJ. Was setup for barrel racing until the previous owners started making modifications to make it a straight track drag jeep. I got it thinking I’d have the time to get to it but I don’t. I have the transmission for it, axles are there, only have the front tires now.( no rear tires ) cage I’d there but not mounted. Missing the steering rod. Other than that I don’t know much on it. NO TITLE!! Mainly interested in trades for a quad or dirtbike.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
Seller sounds ready to sell altogether or separately.
“53′ jeep willys parts. 2x roll cages, hoods, doors, fenders, grills, tub, axles, frame, straight 6 engine, 2 different manual transmissions, plus a lot of small parts. Condition of parts varies from very good to very poor. Let me know what you’re looking for and we’ll talk price.”
This may have been a neat rig back in the day. It’s got no engine, but does have an OD.

“1951 Willys, west coast truck. no rust, no motor. transmission and transfer case are present. has clean Nevada title. priced to sell fast, hard to find in this condition.”
Unclear if the chassis is a CJ-5, DJ-3A (w/4wd added) or CJ-3B.

“Willys Cj2a jeep on 1957 running gear, lots of new parts including hood, windshield frame, new windshield glass, new fuel tank, new brake lines and wheel cylinders, new front bumper, very solid body and frame! Reason for selling is I lost interest”
There might be some value here.

“3 Willys Jeeps for sale or trade. One is running and 2 are parts jeeps.”

(05/05/2023) This is a project, but seems a decent price.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1244265839626239
“This is definitely a project takeover Jeep that runs just needs a starter. Has a 6 volt system battery would need to be charged again as it’s been sitting for a while. The project was too much lot of sheet metal welding was done still a good amount needs to be done before the front for the most part it’s complete. The seats are newly reupholstered. Windshield is cracked. It’s an old Jeep Willy army vehicle. Come check it out if you’re interested and we will set up a time. Registration fees are due on it as seen in picture. Mileage is unknown currently but I just put 50,000 on it I’m sure it has about that in its lifetime from 1949”
Unclear how much value is here.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/224384233562768/
“Basically a project jeep. New tires, New windshield. Thete is no motor. I can’t take more pictures till I go to the property. It’s a good deal. No bartering”
This project is puzzling me as it has the cowl vent hole, but a 3A shouldn’t have it.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1587740128320844
“Willy’s Jeep -Mid 1940’s rolling chassis project sold on a bill of sale with parts (as seen in photos) related to this Jeep. Complete power train and engine turns over freely – frame and body solid. Body was sand blasted and zinc primed by my father who owned this for many years and was in process of rebuilding it before his passing”
This passenger side might have some rust, but still may be worth a look.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/11/2023) Seller indicates it only needs a fuel line. Other than that it is ready to run. I’m going to guess it needs more than just a fuel line.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/136358666042285
“Up for sale 1949 Willys CJ-3A. 4cyl. New tires, shocks. Many new parts on the engine, pertronix upgrade mini starter, new water pump and aluminum radiator, new carb and fuel tank. Just needs fuel line finished for it to run. Landed a 53 CJ-3B so moving on.”
It’s got a Bobcat body and hood. Seems like there is value here. It may have Allstate (or Husky) Hubs.

“1953 jeep cj2a,full fiber glass body,bobcat hood,rear dana 44 front dana 27, no motor or trans or title. Tube fenders that are well built. These are left over parts from my cj3b build that’s the reason for no title.”

This is supposed to be Ward Canaday’s jeep. It does appear to have some rust.
“This is Ward Canaday’s Jeep. He was President of Willys/Overland during WWII and considered the Father of the Jeep. It’s a mostly original unmolested 1953 CJ3A wich runs great. It’s still runs on the 6 volt system and I’ve replaced the windshield, muffler and rebuilt the carb.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/15/2023) It’s got a custom top and a Warn OD is included.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1835937183444619
“1953 Willys with a 1954 motor (the ‘54 is the higher HP overhead valve motor). ‘53 is flathead. New tires, new Warn overdrive, new battery, new peerless wiring harness. Custom aluminum top. All electrics converted to 12 volt. Runs fine. $8000 cash or trade for ??? Mostly looking for truck, motorcycle, boat, UTV but open to all trades. Text or email offers or for additional info.”
Listed as a 2A, this appears to be a 3A.
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/pts/d/san-gabriel-1949-willys-cj2a/7596569652.html
“It’s a 1949 Willys CJ2A with a ford V8 engine.
New shocks and new springs.
It was runs and drivable but parked so long and the timing was off. You need to bring your trail to tow.”
UPDATE: This is now being sold by a dealership. The lengthy list of “Vehicle Options” is quite strange.
(10/11/2022) This jeep came out of the Fresno, California, area and has been for sale previously. It’s got a Muller top, expanded windshield, and doors similar to some other California-jeeps from that region. One thing I hadn’t noticed was that the generator has a power steering pump mounted behind it. Is that out of some vehicle? It seems like a handy setup.
